meet me in outerspace

Wow, what a great audience

Friday – I worked all day and all night. My only form of entertainment was text messages. Thanks to Grover and Smith. (Smith asked me if I wanted to do something Saturday!)

Saturday – I worked all day. Timber was there with me for a bit cause I gave him a ride. On the drive he asked questions about Lion. Lion lies. I tell the truth. So Lion isn’t so happy with me because of that. But I think Lion is completely wrong to bring this young (he’s 18 and just outta high school) fairly innocent guy up here, who wants to be Lion’s boyfriend while Lion is all about just playing around. I don’t think that’s fair and I wouldn’t feel right standing by while this kid was taken advantage of.

However, when we got to the shop, he just annoyed me. He kept trying to drill me on coffee drinks because he used to work at BuckStars. I just wasn’t having it. He tasted our espresso and thought he was so cool for explaining how it was done. Really, it just made me want to write him off as a know it all.

But it was a fun day. My parents came by and I got to make them drinks. Spaz showed up and stayed for an hour kicking hack with me. When I got done, he said he would meet me at my house. I went home and what did I do? Fell asleep. It scared the crap outta me when he rang the buzzer an hour later.

We smoked and talked. And talked and talked. And then played Road Rage. I called Smith and he came over. After a quick game, Spaz took off and Smith and I went to pick up Timber. He was stuck at work without a ride home and I’m a nice person. Which fuckin sucks seeing as it’s a 45 minute drive there and back. And I was supposed to be on a date. And gas is quite expensive these days. Anyway, I (with Smith) picked his ass up and brought him all the way back to Lion’s. Then drove all the way back. Whatever.

However, on the drive to take Timber back to Lion’s, Timber had to go open his mouth to embarrass me. He was trying to figure out if he knew Smith from any of the truth I had told him. So suddenly he bursts out with “Oh, is this the prospective boyfriend?” My gosh, I just couldn’t say anything. Finally I squeaked out “You could put it like that.” All Smith could do was laugh.

Smith and I went out to dinner. We got a special pizza that wasn’t on the menu (we’re special!). That was most enjoyable. Great pizza.

And then off to Harry Potter. That was a long ass movie. And I honestly couldn’t tell you if it was better or worse than the other ones. All I know is that it served as an ok visual guide to the book. I could not stop thinking about Dragonheart tho whenever Lupin was onscreen.

After the movie, he dropped me off at home and we made plans to go to lunch on Sunday. It was one in the morning and I was so freaking tired.

Sunday – I woke up at 9 when Timber called for a ride to work, I’m assuming. But I didn’t answer it. Fuck that. I ain’t your taxi. I turned my phone off and went back to sleep.

I woke up again at 12:30. Hor-fucking-ray for sleeping in. I called Spaz cause he left his phone at my house. I called Smith to tell him I had to drop Smith’s phone off. I called Lion to ask why Timber had called. Lion ended up going with me to drop off Spaz’s phone. And I got another (fake) tattoo!

The rest of the day was spent with Smith, mostly at my parent’s (I was doing laundry). But we went on a walk, we got ice cream and just drove around. It was fun.
